CYPRUS AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CAA)
MOTOR SPORT DEVELOPMENT
Uncovering new racing talents and promoting motor sport engagement through young driver development.
The Cyprus Automobile Association (CAA) this year planned to launch a young driver development programme for 25 participants with the aim of improving the competency of young competitors in the country and supporting them as they advance in their motor sport careers. The initiative was designed to follow the model of the successful programmes held in Lebanon, Jordan and Morocco and trainers will be provided from the Automobile et Touring Club du Liban. The selected winners will have the opportunity to test in F4 in the UK and the possibility to have an F1 academy assessment. The young driver programme follows on from past CAA activities such as last year’s attendance at the FIA European Rally Safety Seminar which in turn led to the training of more than 350 officials in the safe conduct of rally events.
